Abstract: Some
of the most important emerging communication and computing
systems may be viewed as distributed decision systems that
require multi-scale nonlinear dynamical system models to
describe their complex behavior. In such a context, one would
like to ask: (a) At a granular level, how would one
generalize Linear Finite Impulse Response (L-FIR) and Infinite
Impulse Response (L-IIR) filters to Nonlinear FIR (NL-FIR) and
Nonlinear IIR (NL-IIR) filters in order to perform the
required processing? (b) At a modular level, how would
one organize the interconnection of such nonlinear filters so
as to appropriately model the resulting large scale
input-output behavior of the overall system? This lecture will
provide a fundamental abstraction to model and identify/design
the input-output maps of such systems at the granular and
modular levels. Some of the details are described in reference
[1]. Concepts and techniques will be explained in terms of
application-specific examples.

Biography of the speaker:
Dr. Rui J.P. de Figueiredo, B.S. and M.S. (M.I.T.), and
Ph.D.(Harvard) is Research Professor (Above Scale) of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and of
Mathematics, and Director of the Laboratory for Intelligent
Signal Processing and Communications, at the California
Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology,
at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). Prior to
joining UCI in 1990, Dr. de Figueiredo served as Professor of
Electrical Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at Rice
University, Houston, Texas (1965-90). Professor de Figueiredo
has won numerous honors. These include: election to the
UN-sponsored International Informatization Academy (2003),
the 1999 IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society Golden
Jubilee Medal, the 2000 IEEE Tri-Millennium Medal, the
2003 Gh. Asachi Medal from the Technical University of
Iasi (TUI), Romania, from which he also received the title of Honorary Professor (2003), the IEEE Fellow Award
(1976), the 1994 IEEE CAS Technical Achievement Award,
the 2000 IEEE Neural Networks Transactions Best Paper Award,
the 2003 IEEE Circuits and Systems Transactions Guillemin-Cauer
Best Paper Award, the 2002 IEEE CAS Society M. E. Van
Valkenburg Society Award, the 1988 NCR
Educator-of-the-Year Award, his election to President
of IEEE CAS Society in 1998, and his selection by IEEE to
be one of its fifty leaders to present the IEEE vision of the
new century in the book ENGINEERING TOMORROW:Today’s
Technology Experts Envision the Next Century, Janie Fouke,
